all aboard!

So, here's my new pattern set, my labor of love for the past few weeks. I think having a two year old boy in the house makes me have trains on the brain (and all over the floor, on the dining room table, and scattered all over the backseat of the car). I have grown quite fond of them though and I thought it would make a cute embroidery pattern. I decided to go a little less Barnum and Bailey and a little more old world Italy but still overall cute (hopefully!)

I really did have to stop myself before the train got to be 20 cars long. I had visions of monkeys and elephants and acrobats and clowns and... well, you get the picture.

Thanks to everyone who commented on Peter's embroidery! He was over the moon seeing everyone's encouraging messages. You guys rock.
